Gabrielle was invited to speak at the Future of Design Expo at High Point Market, a full-day event dedicated to Designing Spaces for Neurodiversity.

As part of the session Designing for the Mind – Improving Emotional Well-Being Through Design, Gabrielle shared how applied neuroaesthetics can elevate emotional health and cognitive performance within interior environments.

Her insights explored how lighting, pattern, texture, and spatial rhythm influence the brain’s response to beauty and calm. She discussed real-world applications of neuroscience in design, showing how thoughtful sensory choices can support focus, balance, and human connection.

Sponsored by ANDMORE, the event brought together innovators shaping the intersection of design, inclusivity, and human experience.

“When we design with the mind in mind, we create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, they help people feel and function at their best.”
